This is the second annual report covering this new approach. The elected membership of the Authority changed significantly during 2017/18 with six of the seven elected representatives leaving the Authority. This included long- standing members and former Chairs of the Authority, Cllr Tony Turner and Cllr Hilary Cox, whose knowledge and expertise was a loss to the organisation. Following the replacement of elected members, one seat (normally held by a Norfolk County Councillor) remained vacant during the financial year. The balance of the membership in terms of commercial fishing remained the same with six commercial fishermen serving as Authority members with good representation for The Wash and North Norfolk. There is a gap because there is no representation from Suffolk, but this is recognised, and officers take this into account where appropriate. The balance of the membership included representation from the Recreational Sea Angling (RSA) sector, marine conservation sector as well as others appointed for their wider marine management experience. Cllr Goldson held the position of Chairman of the Authority with Cllr Skinner (newly appointed from Lincolnshire County Council) taking the position of Vice-Chairman. The seventh year of operation of Eastern IFCA has seen a continuation of a prodigious workload across the breadth of the Authority’s remit. In particular work has focussed upon delivering protection of the most vulnerable features in Marine Protected Areas, managing and regulating the valuable cockle fishery in the Wash and working towards the development of management measures for crab and lobster to ensure that they are fished to Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY). Alongside this important business as usual has continued, including responding to 71 marine licensing consultations. The Authority is majority funded through a levy on the County Councils of Suffolk, Norfolk, and Lincolnshire which is supplemented by New Burdens Funding (NBF) provided by Defra via a grant in aid to the constituent councils. NBF represents approximately 25% of the Authority’s core funding and is central to the delivery of its mandated outputs. Noting that continued provision of NBF remains the central strategic risk to the Authority’s ability to service its remit, the continuation of this vital funding until 2020 is highly valued. ii | P a g e This is the Authority’s seventh annual report. We welcome feedback on this document from individuals and organisations interested in our work so that we can meet your needs in the future.

Eastern IFCA was created under Section 150 of MaCAA 2009 as a successor to the Eastern Sea Fisheries Joint Committee (ESFJC) and was fully vested on 1st April 2011 via Statutory Instrument 2010 No 2189. The IFCA District was created under Section 149 of the Act and Section 178 requires every IFCA to publish an annual report. This is the seventh annual report of the Authority. The Authority district extends seawards six nautical miles from the Haile Sand Fort off the coast of Lincolnshire to Felixstowe in Suffolk and encompasses the counties of Lincolnshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. The area includes The Wash embayment and various river estuaries including the Stour and Orwell in Suffolk. The district encompasses the full breadth of UK and EU forms of Marine Protected Areas including Sites of Special Scientific Interest, National Nature Reserves, Special Protected Areas, Special Areas of Conservation, as well as Ramsar sites, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty designations and Marine Conservation Zones. 1 Marine and Coastal Access Act (2009) Eastern IFCAs primary duties are set out within MaCAA 2009 and are: 1) to manage the exploitation of sea fisheries resources in its district, in doing so it must: a) seek to ensure that the exploitation of sea fisheries resources is carried out in a sustainable way; b) seek to balance the social and economic benefits of exploiting the sea fisheries resources of the district with the need to protect the marine environment from, or promote its recovery from, the effects of such exploitation; c) take any other steps which in the Authority's opinion, are necessary or expedient for the purpose of making a contribution to the achievement of sustainable development; d) seek to balance the different needs of persons engaged in the exploitation of sea fisheries resources in the district. 2) seek to ensure that the conservation objectives of any Marine Conservation Zone in the district are furthered. As a key delivery body in the marine area, the Authority is also guided by HM Government’s Marine Policy Statement, the East Inshore Marine Plan and the IFCA High Level Objectives:

To that end, we are working with the States, Tribes, other Federal agencies and our many partners in the private sector to identify, prioritize and focus our efforts in a manner that is most complementary to their efforts, consistent with the mission of our agency, and within the funding resources available. At the very heart of our efforts is the desire to be transparent and accountable and, to that end, we present this Region 3 Annual Fisheries Accomplishment Report for Fiscal Year 2004. This report captures our commitments from the Region 3 Fisheries Program Operational Plan, Fiscal Years 2004 & 2005. This document cannot possibly capture the myriad of activities that are carried out by any one station in any one year, by all of the dedicated employees in the Fisheries Program, but, hopefully, it provides a clear indication of where our energy is focused.

    Lake Texoma State Park Resource Management Plan Marshall County, Oklahoma Lowell Caneday, Ph.D. 6/30/2017 Fatemeh (Tannaz) Soltani, Ph.D. Chang-Heng (Hank) Yang This page intentionally left blank. i Acknowledgements The authors acknowledge the assistance of numerous individuals in the preparation of this Resource Management Plan (RMP). On behalf of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department’s Division of State Parks, staff members were extremely helpful in providing access to information and in sharing of their time. The essential staff providing assistance for the development of the RMP included Julie Roach, manager of Lake Texoma State Park. Assistance was also provided by Kris Marek, Doug Hawthorne, Don Schafer and Ron McWhirter – all from the Oklahoma City office of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. Merle Cox, Regional Manager of the Southeastern Region of Oklahoma State Parks also attended these meetings and assisted throughout the project. This RMP supplements and updates an earlier document from 2009. Due to the events of the time, the 2009 RMP focused on other possible properties that could be considered for expansion and development within the Oklahoma State Park system. Given the events and circumstances present in 2017, this RMP focuses on the future of the properties remaining within the boundaries of the extant Lake Texoma State Park. The October 2016 kick-off meeting followed critical discussions between the Commissioners of the Land Office (CLO), OTRD, Pointe Vista, and other parties regarding properties formerly included in the original Lake Texoma State Park. Attending this kick-off meeting on behalf of Pointe Vista and Catfish Bay Marina was Ryan Chapman.

  • The Economic Contribution of Bass and Sea Angling in Ireland 2015
    The Economic Contribution of Bass and Sea Angling in Ireland 2015 1 The Economic Contribution of Bass and Sea Angling in Ireland Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) is the state agency responsible for the protection, management and conservation of the Republic of Ireland’s inland fisheries and recreational sea angling resources. The Republic of Ireland has over 70,000 kilometres of rivers and streams, 144,000 hectares of loughs and over 5,600 kilometres of coastline, all of which fall under the remit of IFI. In Ireland, bass stocks have been managed with a view to long-term sustainability of the natural resource since the 1980s when it was first recognised that bass could be an economically important recreational angling species and that, as a slow growing species, they could be vulnerable to stock depletion if ongoing commercial fishing practises were continued. On July 1st 1990, the Statutory Instrument 128/1990 - Bass (Conservation of Stocks) Order was created. The effect of this order was to prohibit commercial fishing for bass by Irish sea-fishing boats, to prohibit the use of nets and to set a minimum size limit of 40 cm for bass anglers. Another bye-law, Bass Fishing Conservation Bye-Law No. 791/2003, was introduced in 2003 and imposed a bag limit on anglers of two bass in any one period of 24 hours and also provided for a ban on angling for bass during the annual spawning season (15th May - 15 June). In sea angling terms, Ireland has traditionally had a wealth of resources; however, in more recent times there has been anecdotal evidence to suggest that fish stocks around our shores and also the sizes of these fish are in decline.
